"Hey, man. All the homies are going to a dope ass house party tonight. Then we're heading to the strip club to make it rain on some topless bitches. You down?" / "Nah, I can't.

"Hey, man. I was walking downtown when I saw a church on fire, so I ran in and saved one thousand orphans from certain death, then continued walking home. Then I was attacked by a rabid grizzly bear, which I fought off with my bare hands. Now I'm pretty sure the bear is stalking me and planning to eat me alive. I'm only a few blocks from your crib - can you pick me up? I really need a ride." / "Well, sorry, bro, but I really shouldn't be driving in this condition.
